Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical signal transmission technique using a polarization multiplexing system.
- wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission technology In the backbone optical fiber communication transmission system, wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission technology is used. This technique realizes a large capacity by independently allocating signals to a plurality of different wavelengths in one transmission line fiber.
- the wavelength interval is determined by the signal speed that is mainstream at the start of system operation. For example, the current mainstream 50 GHz interval and 100 GHz interval are determined based on the spectrum width of 10 Gb / s (bit / second) signal light.
- the polarization multiplexing / demultiplexing method is a promising technique for spectral width compression.
- two independent signal lights having the same wavelength are arranged on the two polarization axes of the optical fiber at the transmitting end for polarization multiplexing, and two polarizations are transmitted at the receiving end after transmission. Separate again into wave components (polarization separation) and receive individually.
- This polarization multiplexing / demultiplexing method has a long history and, as shown in Non-Patent Document 1, is also used in an experiment reported in 1996 as the world's first 1 terabit / fiber transmission experiment.
- Non-Patent Document 1 the purpose of polarization multiplexing was to share one wavelength with two signal lights, that is, to improve frequency utilization efficiency.
- the current interest in knitting wave multiplexing is to divide what is originally one data into two parts (for example, to divide a 100 Gb / s data string into two 50 Gb / s data strings).
- the spectral width is compressed by assigning to the wave component.
- the signal light allocated to the two polarization components is not independent such as the data rate being completely the same, and it is positive that these data rates are the same. Often used.
- Non-Patent Document 2 two polarization components are converted into RZ (Return to Zero), and the peak position of the RZ pulse is shifted by a half bit between both polarization components.
- RZ Return to Zero
- both polarization components when generating polarization multiplexed signal light, both polarization components have used exactly the same modulation / demodulation method as well as the data rate. That is, both polarization components were symmetric.
- this symmetry is actively used in polarization control in reception side polarization separation that requires the most advanced technology in the polarization demultiplexing method.
- the polarization separation control rule is set to maximize the symbol rate component included in one output component after polarization separation. This is also a technique that can be used only when both polarization components are symmetrical.
- Non-Patent Document 1 In the polarization multiplexing / demultiplexing system described in Non-Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 2, or Patent Document 1, large signal quality degradation easily occurs due to polarization dispersion in the transmission path, and the transmission distance is limited. There was a problem of being.
- FIG. 1 shows how much signal quality degradation occurs when first-order polarization dispersion is added to 110 Gb / s (2 ⁇ 55 Gb / s) polarization multiplexed RZ-DQPSK signal light. It is the result of measurement. Each polarization component is converted to RZ with a pulse width of 50%, and pulse interleave polarization multiplexing is performed. *
- black circles ( ⁇ ) are the measurement results of polarization multiplexed polarization multiplexed RZ-DQPSK signal light. Note that noise light is mixed in the signal light in advance so that the optical SNR is 21 dB / 0.1 nm. Q value deterioration: When 3 dB is taken as a guide, polarization dispersion tolerance is estimated to be about 6 ps. *
- open circles ( ⁇ ) are measurement results for single-polarized 55 Gb / s RZ-DQPSK signal light that is not subjected to polarization multiplexing.
- the optical SNR is set to 18 dB / 0.1 nm.
- the DGD resistance is estimated to be about 24 ps. From this result, it is understood that the DGD tolerance of the 110 Gb / s RZ-DQPSK signal light having a single polarization is about 12 ps (half of 24 ps).
- An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for improving signal quality in transmission of an optical signal using a polarization multiplexing / demultiplexing system.
- the optical signal transmission system adds asymmetric chirp to two optical signals having the same frequency, thereby phase-modulating the two optical signals and phase-modulating the two optical signals.
- a transmitter that transmits two optical signals as polarization components in polarization multiplexing, transmits the optical signal obtained by the combining, and receives the optical signal from the transmitter, and at least one polarization of the optical signal
- a receiver that performs pulse compression on the component and separation of the two polarization components from the optical signal.
- the transmitter of the present invention adds asymmetric chirp to two optical signals having the same frequency, thereby phase-modulating means for phase-modulating the optical signal, and the two lights phase-modulated by the phase-modulating means Transmitting means for combining signals as polarization components in polarization multiplexing and transmitting an optical signal obtained by the combining.
- the receiver of the present invention comprises: a receiving unit that receives a polarization multiplexed optical signal; and a pulse compression unit that performs pulse compression on at least one polarization component of the optical signal received by the receiving unit. And polarization separation means for separating the optical signal received by the reception means into two polarization components.
- an asymmetric chirp is added to two optical signals having the same frequency to phase-modulate the two optical signals, and the two optical signals that have been phase-modulated are polarization multiplexed.
- the optical signal obtained by the synthesis is transmitted, and the receiver receives the optical signal from the transmitter, and performs pulse compression on at least one polarization component of the optical signal; and
- two polarization components are separated from an optical signal.
- the transmitter transmits two optical signals (polarized wave components) with phase modulation by adding asymmetric chirp
- the receiver causes pulse compression on one of the polarized wave components. Since the separation into two polarization components is performed, even if chromatic dispersion occurs, the polarization component in which pulse compression has occurred can be taken out, and as a result, deterioration in signal quality can be suppressed.

Further, the symbol frequency transmitter 115 outputs two clock signals having a phase difference of 180 degrees to the phase modulators 125 and 127, respectively. The reason why the symbol frequency oscillator 115 shifts the phase of the clock signal to the phase modulators 125 and 127 by 180 degrees is to realize the addition of the asymmetric chirp.
- the addition of an asymmetric chirp is to add chirps in opposite directions (asymmetric) at the same chirp depth (signal strength).
- the addition of asymmetric chirp means that, of two optical signals having the same frequency, up chirp is added in the first half of the symbol and down chirp is added in the second half of the symbol, and symbol is added to the other optical signal.

- the intensity modulator 119 converts the CW light from the light source 113 into RZ and outputs it to the data modulator 123. Since the intensity modulators 117 and 119 convert to RZ in synchronization with the same clock signal, the RZ signals output from these intensity modulators become synchronized signals.

For example, when the signal light is 55 Gb / s (Giga bit / second), the phase modulator 125 performs phase modulation at 27.5 GHz. Then, the phase modulator 125 outputs the phase-modulated RZ-DQPSK signal to the variable optical delay adjuster 129.

- the variable optical delay adjuster 129 adjusts the relative time position of the RZ-DQPSK signals from the phase modulators 125 and 127 in order to perform polarization multiplexing. Specifically, the variable optical delay adjuster 129 shifts the signal light intensity change of the RZ-DQPSK signal from the phase modulator 125 by 50% of the symbol slot with respect to the RZ-DQPSK signal from the phase modulator 127. And output to the polarization beam combiner 15.

- the phase of the clock signal (driving signal) from is adjusted.
- the electrical phase adjuster 243 adjusts the phase so that the pulse passes at a timing at which the passage loss of the intensity modulator 245 is minimized, and the passage loss is maximized at a symbol break.
- the intensity modulator 245 intensity-modulates the optical signal from the optical coupler 235 in synchronization with the clock signal adjusted by the electric phase adjuster 243, and outputs it to the DQPSK receiver (25 or 27).
- FIG. 35 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the polarization separator 23j. As shown in the figure, the crosstalk component (shaded portion) is efficiently suppressed by performing time gating.
